Welcome to the Master’s program Computational Sciences!
Using computational mathematical approaches
to study scientific phenomena
An interdisciplinary master’s degree program in Computational Sciences is offered at Freie Universität Berlin since winter semester 2016/2017. Students enrolled in the program will be taught how to apply precise mathematical and computer-based methods and to develop software for solving current scientific problems. The classes will mainly be taught in English. The instructors in the program are from the disciplines of Chemistry, Physics, Geosciences, Mathematics, and Computer Science.
Applications for the upcoming admission period for winter semester 2024/25 will be accepted between April 15, 2024 and May 31, 2024. For more information please see "Application & Admission".Structure of the program
The four-semester master's program combines theoretical and application-oriented contents and is divided into the following four components:
- Synchronization: Learning fundamental methods of computational sciences and establishing an interdisciplinary profile from courses that were not worked on in the respective bachelor’s degree program
- Scientific Computing: Setting a priority in numerics, statistics, or computer science
- Specialization: Focus on one of the three scientific fields: molecular sciences, geosciences, or atmospheric sciences
- Master’s thesis: Writing up a research project in the field chosen for specialization
